push for less use of A1c and more use of eAG, estimated average glucose
July 2008
You'll see a push for less use of A1c and more use of eAG, estimated average glucose.
The American Diabetes Assoc and others will encourage health professionals, labs, and device manufacturers to speak in terms of eAG.
The idea is to make results more meaningful. "Average" glucose is easier for patients to understand. It's in mg/dL...the same units as their blood glucose tests.
